    The support, compassion, care and kindness shown by Tim and his team made the loss of our Mother, at the end of her dementia journey, a lot less troubling.
    She was treated with the upmost respect and there was no family request that Tim couldn’t meet.

  • 5 Jason Parry 1st Feb 2026

    We cannot praise Tim and his team enough.
    From the night Maz/Mum passed to the day she was laid to rest,
    We as a family knew she was in safe hands and being cared for.
    Tim's professionalism, attention to detail,hard work and dedication not only from Tim himself but from the entire team,made an unbearable time for us as a family, that little easier.
    Having never arranged a funeral before it was all very daunting.
    We needn't of worried, Tim put us at ease & knew just the right questions to ask in order to make mums final journey as easier a process as it could possibly be.
    We would like to thank T J Parry & Family from the bottom of our hearts.
    Regards
    Eric, Jason & Nicola

    We can’t express our gratitude enough to Tim and family at T.J Parry and family. 

    Tim and ourselves  coming from the stock car back ground. They wasn’t no better person to give our son the farewell he truly deserved, and to have Tim understand from the start was so reassuring it was just going to be the most perfect day on the hardest day or our lives .

    Tim’s empathy, compassion was second to none. He truly is a diamond.

    We we be truly forever grateful to Tim for taking our son into his care and for everything you did for our family and friends ❤️
    Thank you Hannah. Lee and Callum

  • 5 Alison Bates 11th Jan 2026

    The whole family would like to thank T. J. Parry Funeral Directors for the exceptional service that we received while you guided us through the sad but necessary process of arranging Joan’s funeral. It is always difficult to deal with the loss and grief at this time, but it was made so much easier by your meticulous attention to detail and compassionate approach, in particular with our many contacts with Kirsty.
    The calm professionalism of your staff was evident throughout the morning of the funeral and on this emotional occasion it was reassuring to know that we were in your very capable hands. The funeral service was dignified and beautiful, with you in quiet control, a comment that was reiterated by many of those who attended.
    Thank you once again for your service.

  • 5 Phil Avery 4th Jan 2026

    Having known Tim for many years, I had no hesitation in contacting him to look after mum's funeral, he is kind, compassionate, thoroughly professional from start to finish, nothing is to much trouble and a credit to his profession.

  • 5 Julian Woodford 2nd Jan 2026

    Tim and his team handled my mother's funeral arrangements with sensitivity and professionalism. We were hugely impressed by them throughout the whole process and are deeply grateful for the caring and thoughtful way they managed us through a very difficult and sad few weeks.

  • 5 Pamela Gough 29th Dec 2025

    Can 100% recommend this small family firm. They sorted everything out, there was never any hesitation when I contacted them with a query or had changed my mind about something. Tim rang me the evening before to reassure me and on the day of the funeral he explained in detail everything that was going to happen. The flowers they ordered from Philips were beautiful and the Order of Service was just what I wanted, very impressive. Tim even made sure he kept 4 Orders of Service back for me to pass onto folk unable to attend. The small momentos of the Order of Service were a very thoughtful gift. Thanks also to Kirsty who was always so calm and reassuring, in fact all the staff were too. To summarise, everyone at T J Parry were so very kind, helpful and also professional.
    Thank you all for making the funeral of my dearly loved husband Terry more bearable.

    Very supportive and helpful. Kirsty was/is exceptional, she  went through everything with us and explained everything in detail.
    What was a nice touch was when they came for my dad they left a rose on his pillow. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I’ve never known a service like it.
